Summer is on its way and these turkey burgers are on repeat! For me, summer is all about grilling and keeping things simple. If I can work once and have several meals for throughout the summer that I can just grab and cook? That’s my idea of a relaxing summer! Healthy, homemade grilled turkey burgers are on my list of must haves and the fact that they’re freezer friendly doesn’t hurt either! Load them up with barbecue sauce, cheese slices, tomatoes, lettuce, grilled pineapple slices even and they are one of our favorite easy dinner ideas for a hot day out on the deck, along with these Hawaiian Chicken Burgers and this Grilled Cheeseburger Pizza. We love serving them all up with one of these Pasta Salad Recipes for an easy summer dinner. Don’t forget to finish with a popsicle 😉
Are turkey burgers healthier than beef burgers?
If you know me, you know I am not one to say things like this, although I do love to lighten up my favorite comfort foods so I can enjoy them more often. Honestly? I feel like ground turkey and lean ground beef are nearly equal in calories, fat and protein but I still like switching up my beef burgers with turkey burgers every now and then just for something different! Both turkey and beef (and yes, even chicken!) have a lot of great things to offer and are all healthy choices. Just for reference, these turkey burgers have ????? calories, fat, protein, but what you serve them with definitely needs to be taken into consideration!
How to make grilled turkey burgers:
How to freeze burgers:
Burger patties, beef or turkey, are great for making ahead in the summer as they can easily be refrigerated or frozen. To freeze, place patties in a single layer on a baking sheet on parchment paper. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm. Remove from the baking sheet and place in a large freezer bag or air tight freezer container and freeze for up to 3 months. You can grill right from frozen! To refrigerate, simply prepare the patties as the recipe instructs, then place in a single layer or stack with wax paper in between layers. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
